Peter Untermaierhofer is a photographer who is unafraid of the places that people have long abandoned.

His adventures start by finding lost places throughout Europe that have been left for nature to reclaim. Once inside, Peter is able to capture mesmerizing images that hint at their past lives, while imagining a future after people.

BuzzFeed talked to Peter about his journeys:

"As a child, my mother would show me around abandoned places on our family farm—it was then that I fell in love with these kinds of ruins. During that time, I wanted to be a treasure hunter when I grew up."

Peter goes on, "I later bought my first DSLR and set out looking for interesting spots. I thought about the places I explored as a teenager—like an old WWII Nazi bunker where the Nazis planed to build Messerschmitt aircrafts."
